Overview

The study investigated the efficiency of a novel surface decontamination technology, combining steam and ultrasound (steam-ultrasound), for reducing the titre of foodborne viruses on surfaces of plastic, steel and raspberries. The treatment effectively reduced the viral titre within seconds, potentially benefiting industrial scale production of soft fruits for raw consumption and industrial kitchen surface decontamination.

Original Abstract of the Article :
The leading causes of foodborne viral disease outbreaks are human norovirus and hepatitis A virus (HAV). Their environmental persistence enables contamination of kitchen surfaces and crops often consumed raw, such as berries. Many decontamination procedures are inefficient and unsuitable for surface...See full text at original site

Inactivation of Hepatitis A Virus and Murine Norovirus on Surfaces of Plastic, Steel and Raspberries using Steam-Ultrasound Treatment

As a researcher exploring the world of food safety, I'm always on the lookout for effective methods to combat the threat of foodborne viral outbreaks. This study focuses on the environmental persistence of human norovirus and hepatitis A virus (HAV), which can contaminate surfaces and food. The authors investigated the effectiveness of a novel decontamination technology called steam-ultrasound treatment, a combination of steam and ultrasound, for inactivating these viruses on various surfaces, including plastic, steel, and raspberries. Their findings highlight the potential of steam-ultrasound treatment as a rapid and efficient method for decontaminating surfaces and soft fruits, offering a promising solution to the challenge of foodborne viral contamination.

A Heatwave in the Desert of Food Safety

This study demonstrates the potential of steam-ultrasound treatment as a potent weapon against foodborne viruses. The researchers found that this method effectively inactivated both human norovirus and HAV on a variety of surfaces, including plastic, steel, and raspberries. This promising finding suggests that steam-ultrasound treatment could offer a significant advantage in the fight against foodborne viral outbreaks, providing a vital tool in the pursuit of safer food for everyone.

Navigating the Sands of Food Safety

This study highlights the importance of seeking innovative solutions to the ever-present threat of foodborne viral outbreaks. The findings suggest that steam-ultrasound treatment could offer a valuable tool for quickly and effectively decontaminating surfaces and soft fruits, potentially reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses. This approach can help us navigate the sands of food safety with greater confidence, ensuring that the food we consume is safe and free from harmful viruses.

Dr. Camel's Conclusion

This study provides encouraging evidence that steam-ultrasound treatment could offer a valuable tool for rapidly and effectively inactivating foodborne viruses on various surfaces, including soft fruits. This innovative technology holds promise as a crucial weapon in the fight against foodborne viral outbreaks, ensuring safer food for everyone.
